Does anyone know of a way to permanently remove hair from the earlobes? I have heard that laser treatments will scar the earlobe. Shaving and waxing are not permanent and I am sick of dealing with it.

The ONLY way to permanently remove facial hair is to destroy the blood supply to the follicle, so the follicle dies. To do this, you need to focus a small amount of intense heat directly on the follicle (also known as cauterizing.) There are currently two ways to do this, one of which, electrolysis, is known to be 100% effective, and the other of which, laser, is known to be partially effective. The nature of electrolysis is that the technician has the ability to control the amount of cauterization that is done, and check the results immediately by pulling out the hair. In some cases, the follicle will need to be treated multiple times before the blood supply is fully cut off. This makes electrolysis a lengthy process, but over a period of a couple of years of weekly treatments, eventually all the follicles will be gone forever. Laser is done by focusing a powerful light down the hair shaft, which also causes the hair to heat up along its entire length, thereby cauterizing the follicle in the process. The hair eventually falls out as the skin regenerates. The problem with this method is that 1) heating the entire hair also heats the tissue surrounding the hair, which can result in facial burns, and 2) because the energy is not directly focused on the base of the hair, and because it dissipates as it travels down the hair shaft, the blood supply is usually damaged, but not cauterized permanently. Over time, the body heals the blood supply, and the follicle eventually repairs itself, and the hair comes back. This doesn't happen to all the treated hairs, but enough that one may find themselves with facial hair that returns a few years after treatment, which can be extremely traumatic and embarrassing if the person is living fully as a woman. All the other methods you may have heard or read about will only remove the hair temporarily. There are a couple of products that retard hair growth, but they do not stop the hair from growing. Unfortunately for the majority of post pubertal Transwomen, we have no choice but to endure costly, painful electrolysis.

as part of my daily grooming, while in the shower i check out both ears (we have a fog free mirror in the shower) for hairs to pluck as well as unusally lengthy ear brow hairs. unfortunately, excess hair growth are differing parts of the body is more prevalent the older we become.
i NEVER had a hairy back, but within the last two years i've had to have it waxed just about every three months. it's not that i'' opposed to body hair; i jus don't like it on my back or growing up the shaft of my penis. yuk! so off it goes! for my penis i use a regular razor and for my ears and eyebrows i use a tweezer.
good luck!

Look into electrolosis(sp)
It can be a very time consuming process depending on the amount of hair you have but it really pays off in the end.
I looked into it for my eyebrows and I love it ;) It costs around $50 an hour.
Good luck

electrolysis would do the trick.
Few people know that if you tweeze hair for seven years that it will not grow back, but I know your looking for a guick fix.
